On Monday, Iger pointed to films like “Black Panther” ...
Wakanda is an isolationist ethnostate ruled by an absolute monarch. Who then built a wall.
Lets not forget that Black Panther ended with the ethnostate giving outreach aid by skin color; starting with setting up an embassy in Oakland.
Just reminding you to fill up the tank on the Time Machine and put the key back on the hook when you are done.
I am so tired of chasing you down and getting it back every time you want to attend the PB&J Sandwich Buffet for time travelers at the creation of Peanut Butter.
John ran for political office. During the campaign he made comments drawing attention to the perils of weaponized moon rocks.
Was that before or after he locked his dog outside in the snow to freeze to death; then blamed it on GamerGate?
The lady was trying to pay for skin grafts. I assume it would have burned her insides at least as bad if she had managed to force it down her throat.
That mixed metaphor was really poetic. Kudos!
Don't forget the strict documentation of lineages and the super-secret vibranium lip tattoos to show who is a citizen and who isn't.
Killmonger was able to challenge Tchala for absolute monarchy because his dad was Tachaka's brother. They were cousins.
So this utopia is a black, isolationist ethnostate with leadership to the most savage brute with a spear. Then they built a wall.
This has been addressed elsewhere.
When a woman is in a relationship, she prefers a legal and social framework where she can benefit from a strong, empowered man as a provider and protector.
When a woman is not in a relationship she wants to replace her male partner with a strong, authoritarian state that will tax men and provide gibs.
This is supported by the dramatic change in voting patterns after women get divorced, and then switch back to more (generally) conservatives if she gets married again.
Ralt, perhaps you just don't want to understand the Imp's main point.
I don't ... strictly agree with him, but I absolutely see where he is coming from.
[Redacted]
The Imp believes that the western world is so gynocentric that return to more "traditional values" is impossible without catastrophic hardship.
He goes on to point out that men, especially young, low status men are absolutely disposable even such a "traditional society" where women's base, social climbing, self-centered, emotional drives are tempered by social pressure and the use of law.
Do I have that about right @TheImpossible1 ?
Imp's presentation of these points is somewhat bombastic, but they seem to be well supported by observations.
Which of his points do you disagree with? I'll give you a hint. Calling him a Nazi or saying that he is insane won't cut it.
I stand corrected.
Do not confuse the holocaust with the marketing of the "Holocaust".
There have been many massacres, ethnic cleansings and genocides. Steps have been taken to make sure that the Holocaust is indelibly imprinted into the history and psyche of the English speaking world, especially the USA.
Jewish money has a huge influence on Hollywood, and there have been some very well made, big budget movies made about WW2, many of which feature the terrible treatment of the Jews.
In comparison, other ethnic groups like the Gypsies were very badly treated at the same time. No one remembers or cares.
Gynoids and surrogate mothers would do it.
I'd invent AI application which can feel genuine emotions and give affection and encouragement (for companionship). Bonus points if she can talk dirty and mean it.
Then for kids, heterosexuals guys can get married to form a dual income family, then rent the wombs of some women is South East Asia. There is a thriving industry of surrogacy tourism from Laos, Thailand etc.
Think about it. A dual income household. Friendship and support from your 'husband', the itch for relationships scratched by a string of code that you own. It would work. We can do almost all of that today.
It is mostly true. There area was very sparsely populated in some areas, with almost all of the farmland being considered to be too difficult to work with the wooden tools that the locals used at the time.
Bantu speaking locals were moving (slowly) in to colonize from the north, but they had not done that in large numbers or with any real organization.
There had been attacks on the European settlement at the cape, and the (mostly) Dutch Settlers moved inland, looking for an unoccupied area that would not be contested, where they could engage in friendly trade with the locals.
Later when the settlers had achieved some prosperity and were trading with those friendly locals, they attracted a lot of attention; as the trade was giving a better lifestyle to their trading partners. Other major language groups (tribes?) including the Zulu moved because of the opportunities created.
"Apartheid" literally means "apart". It was an effort for the European descendants to build their own things, while the tribal peoples could have their own. An attempt at multiculturalism; multiple cultures running side by side.
You already have a national ID. It is called your Social Security Number. The IRS is all about making sure they are getting tax from every individual. You even have to update your details with them once a year.
You are absolutely, emphatically wrong. Ask the South Africans. The land settled by their fledgling nation was unoccupied when they arrived. Migrants came because it was (more or less) a first world nation on the African continent.
See where they are now.
Perhaps invalidate votes coming from that machine
Or you know, the whole election.
Dude, if you caught your wife smooching another guy, would you accept her protestations that it was just one little kiss, and only that one time? I sure as hell would not. "Honey, I was just tipsy, and I wanted to be sure that you are the best kisser ever! It was only the one time."
At the point where a guy has a USB stick which is capable of compromising a single voting machine and there is an easily accessible USB port ... any voter could have tampered with the machine.
The Australian "Conservatives" government told the Treasury department to begin preparing to implement negative interest rates! There was a national ban on cash transactions of more than $10,000. This was following whitepapers by the IMF on the use of Negative Interest Rates to keep the bubble bubbling along, and as an alternative (supplement?) to "quantitively easing".
Things are beyond crazy.
Men don't like men enough to take collective action like that, Imp.
Look up the ingroup-outgroup tendencies of men vs women. "The Women are Wonderful Effect"
Hey, don't forget the huge slice of the Military Industrial Complex that they own!
Or better yet, drink potato! Have vodka!
Hey, you take that back! There are so many daring women fashion writers! They take real risks!
Now do homeless people!
Ooh then do Workplace Deaths next! Then Suicides! Oh! Oh! Then Lifetime Net Tax Payments!
Explain how not enough men are being fucked, proportionally!
Do you remember the Mexican protests from a few years ago? Women were all bent out of shape that only 85% of the murders were men.
The response was to have a strike. A day of absence, where women stop doing the things they do: To show the country how much they need women.
The effect of that protest was ... exactly nothing.
Can you imagine if, say, just Male Truck Drivers took the day off? Or Male Police? Or Male Border Guards? Or (gasp) all three? It wouldn't even be 10% of the working men, and the effects on Mexico would be just about crippling.
Female officers fucking their subordinates continues to be a regular occurrence. Don't forget that one.
Australia doesn't make anything. They dig up things and send the dirt overseas in bulk carriers and sell houses to each other.
All of the GDP growth of the past X years is from having the highest (per capita) immigration in the western world; which is driving property prices near Melbourne and Sydney.
At some point it has to stop; it is absolutely unsustainable.
At that point there will be an end to luxuries like giving billions to 5% of the population because of their race. There will probably be an end to things like universal health care and the national disability insurance; as both are basically handouts to tiny minorities.
The day people can't afford to put fuel in their car and bread on the table is the day the Sit Down Money ends.
